I have someone who works part-tim (0.6 - spread over 5 days) who wants to take another ful time job as well. Does anyone have a policy about what they allow? Is it just an OHS issue or are there other factors to consider?
Any assistance would be appreciated

Do you mean they would go from 0.6 to 1.6 ?

Yes 0.6 here (~9am-2pm) and proposing another full time role "after hours" 3pm-11pm
So throwing in a bit of travel time, this person is on the go for 15-16 hours per day. Not many people could sustain that for very long.
Do you have any clauses in your employment agreement about other jobs?

Yes we do have clauses about conflict of interest and specifically about Intellectual Property but this "2nd" job is in a totally different field and to me, it is only about the OHS issue you raise above.

Often the need for a second job centres on a need to meet financial commitments. If you can offer the employee additional hours then the need for a second job could be largely removed. You get to retain a good employee, the employee sees that you are interested in them and any issues associated with the impact of the second job will be removed.
